Its blend appearance softens uniformity and complements a wide variety of architectural styles—from classic to contemporary. The “Reserve” designation indicates a higher visual quality and consistency, making it ideal for visible external walls where aesthetics matter.\n\nWoodstock Blend Reserve is manufactured using the wirecut process with a tumbled texture—delivering a slightly weathered, gently aged look while retaining dimensional accuracy. It is vertically perforated, reducing weight and improving thermal performance without compromising strength. With an F2 durability rating and water absorption of 7 %, this brick is designed for exposed UK conditions when installed with appropriate detailing, including cavity design, flashings, weep holes, and compatible mortar.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e215 × 102.5 × 65 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eColour:\u003c\/b\u003eMulti blend (reds, buffs, greys)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTexture:\u003c\/b\u003eTumbled\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eWater Absorption:\u003c\/b\u003e? 7 %\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eDurability:\u003c\/b\u003eF2 (suitable for exposed external use)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003ch4\u003eWhy choose the “Reserve” version?\u003c\/h4\u003e “Reserve” bricks are selected for better visual quality—fewer blemishes and tighter colour consistency—making them ideal for façades where appearance is crucial. \u003ch4\u003eHow does the tumbled texture affect appearance and maintenance?\u003c\/h4\u003e The **tumbled** finish gives a soft, weathered character that helps mask minor surface wear over time. It’s less smooth than pressed finishes but adds charm. During cleaning or repointing, take care not to damage the gently rounded edges. \u003ch4\u003eIs 7 % water absorption good for damp resistance?\u003c\/h4\u003e Yes — **? 7 % absorption** is quite low and helps limit moisture uptake. Still, the wall’s long-term performance depends more on proper detailing (cavities, flashing, drainage, mortar) than absorption alone.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCheck out our full range of \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/jjbuildingmaterials.co.uk\/collections\/building-supplies\"\u003ebuilding supplies\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse more \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/jjbuildingmaterials.co.uk\/collections\/bricks-blocks\"\u003ebricks \u0026amp; blocks\u003c\/a\u003e available online.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Forterra","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51448212324694,"sku":"161785","price":429.41,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0905\/4509\/4998\/files\/forterra-woodstock-blend-reserve-facing-brick-pack-of-452-8468917.jpg?v=1772657068","url":"https:\/\/jjbuildingmaterials.co.uk\/products\/forterra-woodstock-blend-reserve-facing-brick-pack-of-452","provider":"JJ Building Materials","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
